The New York Road Runners, the host organizers, award entries in two primary ways: non-guaranteed and guaranteed. The guaranteed spots are reserved for runners who fit certain criteria, like having run 15 NYC Marathons, for example, or for those who have hit specific time standards in NYRR-sanctioned or non-NYRR events, the latter being first-come, first-serve. Non-guaranteed entry requires runners put their name into a draw under the following: “NYC-metro area” applicants, U.S. applicants outside of Metro NYC, and non-U.S. residents.
